Most microorganisms do not live in isolation; they thrive in communities with large numbers and develop close interactions that generate increased benefits for the group. They can establish a range of relationships, including mutualism, commensalism, synergism, competition, parasitism and predation. There are two major challenges in sorting out the complex relationships between microorganisms in the ecological systems. First, more than 95% of the microorganisms cannot be artificially cultured, t...
